Drain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute calculous cholecystitis: a randomised controlled study.

Background: There is paucity of evidence regarding the role of drain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC), and surgeons have placed the drains based on their experiences, not on evidence-based guidelines. This study aims to assess the value of drain in LC for ACC in a randomised controlled prospective study.

Patients And Methods: All patients with mild and moderate ACC undergoing LC were assessed.
